Hi Jon, Pity you didn't get over to the Manchester AGM. Nemqlug (the host sub group) had a real WORKING party at the workshop, repairing old QLs and other associated equipment. We also had a number of working QL Monitors for sale from as little as £1 - YES one GBPound. Would you be interested if I could still lay my hands on a couple?
